Enlightenment was an incredible thing, so incredible that many took it to be the inspiration of the gods, as their minds were open to thousands of new ideas and different perspectives that they could have never dreamed of before.
Problems that seemed impossible to solve, were suddenly as simple as breathing. Many of the most revolutionary ideas came from states of enlightenment.
It was because of this that it was so coveted, but also why it was so exceptionally rare. That didn't stop people from trying to manifest it themselves. Potions were brewed, rituals were performed, spells were cast and when you couldn't afford any of these methods some people just resorted to endless, desperate prayers.
But no matter the method, none of them were guaranteed. They could certainly help, but it was all down to chance. If your mind was not prepared, no amount of drugs or magic could properly force an Enlightenment.
